Ahh, the good ol' traffic light "drill team competition/basketball tournament/etc." shakedown. I hear those buckets make nice ashtrays.

This makes Trenton look and feel like a ghetto to outsiders. Oh, that's right, it is.

There is no more of a difference than the children you find outside of the grocery stores asking for money, except majority of time you need to purchase a permit to collect money at the intersections. It's not only the children, it's the adults who sit back in the shade and have the children hustling the intersections to collect money that may or may not be accounted for when needed. The children can sometimes come across as being rude (mainly when they're not given money) and they play in the middle line of the lanes. I have experienced even being cursed at because I decided to give a dollar instead of a larger bill that i was holding my hand, by one of the Trenton Central High School Boys Team (so they say). But on another hand if the fire depts. churches and other higher ranking organizations can do it, why not the children in that community.
